network printers

I will try to explain this as best i can,In hopes that it can be unerstood.there are two printers on a network.One does normal printing,using windows.The other printer(with parrallel port) prints versaforms.Since there is trouble with that printer,we would like the first printer to be able to print the versaforms also .But am told you cannot simply add the printer,because windows does not recognize versaform printing without a complicated step of going through dos and typing in a command each time.Also told that there may be some kind of hub where you can just switch command to either printer.Ihope this can be understood,and would appreciate any help you can offer.Thanking you
